[Elecraft] K3 RX EQ Settings

[Gary]

This is me, not for all folks ok?
1.8 filter installed, Hi Cut set to 1.7 - 1.8, Lo Cut set to .10.
Now, to MY EARS 99% of stations I work are perfect to my ears.
I defer to excellent advice from Jim, k9yc and others....you know who you are.
On the RX EQ, I have -16db on 1-3, 4-6 are flat, 7-8 are +3db

Again, these are for my ears, Tinitus runs rampart and one ear canal is 40% smaller from birth. Guess I am special after all?

Enjoy the ride.....

Doug,

This is not a question where there is a 'best' setting for everyone - it 
all depends.

Your RX EQ settings will have to be customized to your ears and the 
listening devices you typically use (headphones, speakers, etc.).
I just leave mine set flat for both SSB and CW.  Make it sound 'natural' 
to your ears.

For the SSB Lo and Hi cut points, I generally start out with 200 to 300 
Hz as the lo  cut point, and 2800 to 3000 for the high cut point.
If I find interference on the high frequency side, it is an easy matter 
to reduce the hi cut, and you will be surprised how much it can be cut 
while still maintaining intelligibility.  Interference on the low 
frequency side is more difficult to combat since you will lose 
significant intelligibility if you increase the low cut significantly.

With the NR settings, you will have to experiment.  It will depend on 
the type of noise you are trying to deal with.
